CAS 939-69-5: 2-Benzothiazolecarbonitrile, 6-hydroxy-

2-Cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole is a molecule that is an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. This compound has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, with a molecular weight of 164.2 g/mol. It reacts with hydroxyl groups and nucleophilic attack to form new molecules, which can cause light emission. 2-Cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole has been shown to be fluorescent and can be used as a marker for hydroxyl group formation in mammalian tissue. 2-Cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole can also be found in the human serum and is involved in transcription processes by binding to DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase, forming polymers. The rate at which these polymers are formed depends on the concentration of 2-cyano-6-hydroxybenzothiazole and will vary depending on the light emission from a photomultipl

6-Hydroxy-1,3-benzothiazole-2-carbonitrile
